Re: How is Bitcoin not a massive waste of energy?
I mine too, but it's a waste compared to what could've been done instead. The "waste" here is that Folding@Home can't come and say "please please use your GPU power for our projects here". There are ~6...

Good podcast, but you are a jerk! Just kidding -- thought it was great.
View ArticleRe: Discursive Episode #1: Java's the new Black, JavaOne, and Bob Lee

The only problem with Product Management is that it is contingent on so many things going right at the same time, several of which a product manager does have control over. Part of my mid-career crisis...
View ArticleRe: Discursive Episode #2: Guava Controversy, Tesla, and Hudson/Jenkins
Great podcast again. In terms of Guava I kind of agree with both sides in that yes it is a shame that they dont open up more and yes they have every right to it that way. Android is very similar btw....
